Pieces is lovely, I couldn't be happier with my stay.
The PP Room has the romance of a Wong Kar-wai film. The sounds of Chinatown start to filter in at 7 o'clock every morning, reminding you of the bustling life and famous street food waiting just outside the door.
Every morning I'd say "sah wah dee khrap!" to the old lady that sits at the entrance of the house next door, she seemed to enjoy my (miss)pronunciation, she would smile and say Hi back. Then I'd get lost in the alleyways of Chinatown, stopping when hungry or at the smell or sight of freshly prepared food. The food is so fresh!
At night there are nice bars close by, one with live Thai music every night! The bars are mostly frequented by locals, and unlike bars I'm used to here in Australia, Thai hospitality is so strong you are seated, so these bars are a little more fun if you are go with a friend.
I made friends at bars a little further afield, at the music venues Jam Cafe/Bar and Soul Bar. Once I made friends we inevitably ended up back in Chinatown for food, an easy walk home :)
Also if you are luck enough to be staying while Pieces Cafe is running as a bar then be sure to pop in for a drink. It was a completely new bar experience for me. The hosts were wear orange jump suites and serving plum wine based cocktails, every attention to detail emaciate. The cocktails have clever numeric based names that are printed on hyper orange stirrers in the shape of hand with a raised index finger asking for quiet. I can't do it justice, just don't miss it if you get a chance.
